KEY MESSAGES
Issued at 1032 AM CST Mon Dec 29 2025
- Seasonably cold tonight with wind chills expected to drop into the single digits to teens across the Panhandles.
- Quiet weather with above normal temperatures will prevail for New Years even and beyond into the weekend.
SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Tuesday night) Issued at 1032 AM CST Mon Dec 29 2025
Mid/upr trough will progress from the mid-west across the Great Lakes through tomorrow. As it does, SFC high pressure center will slide south towards the TX Coastal Plains and E TX. This will provide a return to SW flow across the area on Tuesday setting the stage for a warming trend and the beginning of another extended period of above normal temperatures after one more seasonably cold night tonight with lows in the teens and 20s.

LONG TERM
(Wednesday through next Sunday) Issued at 1032 AM CST Mon Dec 29 2025
Mid-upr ridge between east and west coast trough will push across the Wed and Thu. New Years eve and day weather will be nice with above normal temperatures and relatively light winds (possible exception of the SW Texas PH). One caveat and only negative component to otherwise nice day is there may be a substantial cirrus cloud deck in advance of an approaching system. The fast moving weak trough will briefly break down the ridge on Friday and will lead to development of SFC low over the area late Thursday. This system will quickly push east through early Friday ushering a weak front through the area, but this front will have only minimal impact on temperatures north winds will be short lived given a very progressive pattern. Despite the Friday front and another possible weak frontal boundary late Sunday or Monday, it appears the weekend into early next week will remain on warm side as broad ridging within a relatively zonal pattern continues to influence the area. While it will be dry, there are no significant strong wind event or Fire Weather signals through the period.
